Satisfying Work In A Country Of Have Nots
Aboard a three-month Mercy Ship mission, Nick cared for West African people who suffer from terrible living conditions and difficult access to health care. "I saw pretty quickly that Liberia was a country that has been wracked by civil war for 14 years. It was clear I had come from the land of ‘haves’ to a country of ‘have-nots’," says the 46-year-old.

The end, marking a new beginning…
So many mixed emotions at this point in my journey- I've anticipated this since last February, and even more, have wanted to go on the Mercy Ships since I was probably a freshman in high school.

The Galley Onboard the Africa Mercy
The Africa Mercy has almost 400 hundred crew members serving onboard. The crew is extremely diverse, coming from over 30 countries and ranging in age, profession, and length of service. But they share a commonality - everyone needs to eat. In West Africa, access to food supplies is limited, and most crew members don't have personal space for food storage onboard. Various jobs on the ship have immediate and time-consuming needs, which don't allow time for food preparation.
